Are you a back sleeper, a side sleeper or a stomach sleeper? How you sleep can be affecting your health and the amount of sleep you’re getting each night.
Stomach Sleeper – Don’t sleep on your stomach – this can cause neck and back pain and keep you up all night tossing and turning to comfortable. It is especially dangerous for you if you are overweight and you snore or suffer from sleep apnea.
Back Sleeper – Sleeping on your back is okay. It can prevent back and neck pain if you prop your head correctly with pillows. It can help with reflux as long as your head is higher than your stomach.
Side Sleeper – Sleeping on your side is optimal. Left or right doesn’t really matter. With the proper pillow fluff you can sleep through the night easily without hurting your neck and back.
This grilled chicken skewer recipe affirms the belief that everything tastes better on a skewer. Grab some chicken chunk it up. Also chunk up some zucchini, onion, red pepper and some naval oranges. Remember that before you throw skewers on the grill to soak them in water for a long time so they don’t burn up. Oil up your griull and cook the skewers for a few minutes on each side until they are done. Serve over a brown rice and you are done.

A southerner at heart, Rebecca Palmer grew up in New England. Living in Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, she attended Keene State College and earned a degree in Communications and Business. Upon graduation, she felt warmer weather calling her, and moved to Atlanta in 2000. She initially took a position with Piedmont Hospital. After a couple other endeavors, Rebecca decided that her heart was in working with the elderly, and she took the position of Marketing Director for Northlake Gardens, an assisted living and memory care community with about 60 apartments.
Jeannine Blackman first worked in healthcare as a high school student. As a member of the Medical Careers Club, she was able to get a paid position at the In-Patient Pharmacy of a local hospital in Detroit, where she was born and raised. At the age of 19, Jeannine took a position as a restaurant general manager, and spent the next 26 years in the restaurant and hospitality business. After moving to Atlanta in 1999, Jeannine was working in the hospitality industry when her company was bought out. She decided to go back to school at that point, becoming licensed as a licensed practical nurse (LPN). Today Jeannine is the Resident Services Director at Northlake Gardens, where she is responsible for all aspects of resident care.

A third yankee in the studio today, Dawn Coons was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. Her love for seniors resulted from being raised by her grandparents. In Dawn’s words, her grandmother was her best friend. Having moved to Atlanta in the mid 1980s, Daw moved her grandmother to Atlanta to live with her in 1986. At the time, Dawn had been pursuing a nursing degree. In order to better care for her grandmother, she decided to work in real estate due to the flexibility in that career. When the real estate market turned, Dawn began working with seniors again for a senior residential placement service. During her tenure with this company, she got to know the Benton House. When they decided to build the new community in Johns Creek, Dawn knew that she wanted to be a part of that organization. Today, Dawn is the Community Relations Director at the Benton House Johns Creek, a new assisted living and memory care community located at 5050 Kimball Bridge Road in Johns Creek. Join them for their upcoming Grand Opening on Saturday, April 30 from 11 am to 1 pm.
